Oh-ho - some of you might have seen this kid during the stream... They were made taking franken-style suggestions, and now they need a home! However, I'm not going to just raffle them off or anything of the sort. I want you to tell me who they are! I'm looking for you to tell me something about them - personality? Powers? Anything is good!

However, there's a few caveats that you must deal with regarding that, because I've decided to make this a challenge game...
  • You must pick a domain, even if you don't have any ideas for powers yet.
  • The domain CANNOT deal with outer space/stars/planets/etc in any way.
  • The domain CANNOT deal with thunder/lightning/storms in any way.
  • They may not be related to any other currently existing ponies.
From there, tell me what you want: you can give me power ideas, personality ideas, history ideas... You don't have to fill out everything, only what inspires you about them. I'm going to pick my favorite entry to win, with the extra fields (about being in stream or how many alicorns you have) helping me decide on tie breakers. Yes, this is a totally biased and unbalanced contest, but that's because I spent my heard earned staff credits to make this beautiful pony for y'all. I can be a twit if I want to. 😏

Please delete any fields you don't use.

This contest will end in about a week / as soon as I remember it exists after a week. 8D

Their Domain: Aurora Borealis (can be simplified to northern or southern lights, to allow for another alicorn of similar domain, or kept broad as polar lights)
Any power ideas: something around solar wind definitely, as that is the biggest factor in creating an aurora.
3 flaws: Airhead, Listless, (I can't think of a third one currently, may come back to this)

Favorite music genre: electronic music
Least favorite music genre: overly spiritual music
Personality: They are kind and generous, and always looking to help ponies out. But they never really seem to have a set goal in mind when doing so, and will often wander off. Sometimes even during a conversation. They do, however, greatly enjoy making lights for others to see, and will often use this to help cheer others up. Especially around foals.

Their Domain: Alicorn of Reminiscence
Any power ideas: Soothing Tales - The ability to remind a pony of a forgotten memory when in need / distressed(Though the memory will fade away once more after they are calmed). Projected Realities - The ability to replay a memory of a pony near them or their own in the form of the light seen on their wings. Tall Tales - With permission from a pony they can mildly distort memories, though only ones that the pony remembers vividly and often reflects on/holds dear. Scented Calls - The ability to create a certain smell or atmosphere of a memory, whether their own or others.
3 flaws: Disconnected from reality, Bitter and resentful often towards those more powerful than them, mildly manipulative.
3 virtues: Always attempting to help others, no matter the cost, often ready to take charge in dire situations, usually very kind to those she has no reason to resent.
Occupation: No occupation
Favorite food: Lemon custard!
Least favorite food: Egh, noodles..
Favorite music genre: Changes day by day
Least favorite music genre: Jazz..
Personality: A generally kind hearted(or, so they seem) pony who tends to their friends and other ponys with the utmost care. They devote their life to protecting and serving, helping those who need to remember long forgotten tales and often helping pony's who have trauma by warping the things they remember. Though, no pony really.. knows them? They seem to be a mystery among most, coming and going as they please, never sticking around to get to know anyone. This, mainly, is because they've completely changed their own world. They were a bitter young pony once, despising other alicorns with more powers, alicorns who could change tides and control the weather! And, most importantly, the alicorn of memories. Why, my powers are nothing but a dull form of theirs! It isn't fair! None of it's fair! How come I only get to control memories ponys KNOW? After years of resentment they began to warp their own memories, as many as they could get their hooves on that caused them grief, and now they spend their days wondering who they were. What's real..? What did they just.. change? They can't change much, but years of tiny alters have left them unsure of what is going on.. But, still, they're too bitter and angry to help themselves and admit their mistakes, or ask the alicorn of memories for help.
Anything else: I came up with the idea before checking for an alicorn of memories, and changed it slightly, so I hope reminiscence is an okay thing still! <3

Bouquet of Diamonds

Grizzled Veteran
D
Their Domain: Meditation
Any power ideas:

Crystal Therapy - Utilizes crystals imbued with their magic in meditation sessions with other ponies either in private appointments (where they hover long crystals over their clients while they rest in a specific space) or in groups (in a nice smelling room with big crystals and comfy cushions) in order to help these ponies through guided mediation. The crystals are designed to help ponies feel calm or relaxed, not sedated or sleepy, and only during the time they're exposed to their warm glow. Once ponies leave their appointment/the group room, the effect will wear off. (Unless the pony themselves chooses to actively try to keep themselves relaxed)

Crystal Lamp - Can create reasonably sized (like something for a bedside table or dresser) crystals like the ones they use in their sessions for ponies to take home with them for personal use. The lamps recognize the voice of their designated owner and use a simple command ("Lamp on/off" or the like) in order to be operated. Once turned on, the lamp works exactly like the crystals used in their sessions and produce a calming, but not sedating, light for up to one year of use before the pony that owns it needs to come back to them and have it recharged. Frequent use can make the crystal lose it's effects faster and it can be damaged by water or falling.

Mindful Master - The ability to instantly achieve that coveted meditative state as soon as they settle down and close their eyes. The only problem they have is returning to their body when they're suddenly interrupted or if they reach this state while in a public place. Ever been brought crashing back into your body by a frisbee to the face? They have.

Mental Manifest - The ability to bring something small they saw during their meditative state into reality. This requires quite a bit of concentration and energy to do and is typically used to manifest things like flowers or pretty shells, but it can be used to manifest other small things like crystal orbs or rings too. Whatever they bring into reality is temporary, only lasting about ten minutes for objects and up to thirty minutes for natural things, before they poof into clouds of sweet smelling smoke and return to their mental space.

3 flaws:

Detached: Doesn't believe in forming as many "earthly" attachments as other ponies and keep their own company as much as possible. This can make them appear uncaring, aloof, or dismissive to others and may end up hurting those who try to get close to them. They really do care about the wellbeing of others and won't avoid making conversation, but they won't offer anything personal about themselves and won't ask for the personal details of others.

Non-committal: Time has little bearing of importance to them and, thus, they're frequently late to appointments or a straight up no-show to other events they agreed to attend. They'll try to send some kind of note ahead of the agreed time if they don't intend to come, but even those can arrive thirty minutes to an hour after. They also have a habit of making a beeline for the exit the second that anything awkward or dangerous might be happening, leaving the rest of the world to deal with whatever happens afterward.

Inattentive: Spending so much of their time either meditating or in their own little world has left them with a naturally dreamy mind. This predisposition has led them to walking into others, floating straight into traffic, and losing more things than they care to admit. So many of their trips to the doctor start with the words "Well, I was off in my own little world again and didn't notice-" that their doctor has stopped asking for answers and starts treating them as soon as they walk in.

3 virtues:

Simplistic: How did they achieve such a high state of being? By living a simple life with simple needs. They don't chase after money, buy expensive clothes, or hoard possessions, and you won't catch them eating a steak dipped in gold leaf. If it's something big, flashy, over the top, or causing a whirlwind of obsession in the population, it won't be something they own or pursue.

Altruistic: While you can't depend on them to show up on time (or at all), you can expect them to give as much as they earn as though as it's nothing special. Be it extra time during a private session, free crystal lamps, or a bag of their groceries as they pass you by, they're clearly imbued with the spirit of giving and giving without a thought for themselves. Others may think them odd or careless for being so freely giving of their resources, but with a mind dedicated to leaving their cares behind them, it's as easy as breathing.

Serene: Remaining calm in a world full of ups and downs is a trait that can only be developed through years of training, and they'd like to say that they've mastered it. Yes, there are times where they'll experience panic and have to confront negative emotions, but they'll never let those feelings control how they relate to the world around them. They believe all feelings are valid and deserve acknowledgement, but it's what you do with those feelings that define you as a pony, and they choose to be as even-tempered as possible.


Occupation: Owns a crystal/mystical item shop. They host daily meditation sessions in a room in the back of the shop and have another more private room for personal clients.
Favorite food: Blueberry cobbler, asparagus wrapped in bacon, fruits/vegetables
Least favorite food: French onion soup, macaroni n' cheese, steak
Favorite music genre: New age/spa music, folk, and classical
Least favorite music genre: Heavy metal, screamo, and rap
Personality: ... Basically listed above. Forgive me, I was INSPIRED... 8'D
Anything else: I wanted to add another power idea that either involved them being able to project their meditations to others or being a calming presence to others, but I felt like those would be too OP or too similar to powers other alicorns might have. I'm satisfied with what I have listed above, though.

Do you have any alicorns? How many? Yes, 2. (Accidents and Inheritance)
Do you have any awakened? How many? Nope!
Were you in the stream when this kid was made? CORNDOG Yes!

D
Their Domain: Hypnotism
Any power ideas:
Any consenting pony will fall into a trance like state when they say a specific word or phrase

A passive power that gives them the ability to give ponies within a 20 foot radius a clear, focused mind/ a sense of relaxation and calmness.

Can help some pones change certain behaviors/ perceptions and sensations to some extent, and is particularly useful in treating pain.

3 flaws:
Blunt- They will say what they're thinking as they fully believe honesty is the best policy and can frequently take things too far because of their inability to filter.
Indecisive- This pone has trouble making decisions when it comes to trivial decisions and sometimes, important decisions too.
Overambitious- they're constantly in the pursuit of being better, not only for themselves, but for the ponies around them.
3 virtues:
Humility- They are quite humble about everything the do and have. They will almost never show off in front of another pony.
Orderliness- everything around this pony is constantly in order. They tend to get antsy when there is a mess near them and have trouble focusing when their environment isn't neat.
Docility- they are constantly willing, and trying, to learn and grow from their surroundings and the people they come into contact with.
Occupation: Hypno therapist
Favorite food: Pomegranate (and their seeds)
Least favorite food: Anything Spicy
Favorite music genre: Elevator Music
Least favorite music genre: Rap
Personality: Though they are generally perceived as calm and relaxed, their mind never stops considering all possible turnouts to a situation and how they can swing it in their direction. They get nervous easily although they would never show it, and even more frazzled when their mind games don't work on someone.
Anything else: A big WIP currently

Grizzled Veteran
D
Their Domain: Nightlights
Any power ideas: Emit soft light in the dark. Glow is stronger if around another pony that is afraid of the dark. It's not just their horn and wing that glow, if especially needed around another pony, their whole body will emit a glow, they can't turn it off but they can turn it down.

Glow only lasts until the pony they're around falls asleep or they themselves get sleepy/fall asleep. The longer the glow is active, the dimmer it will get.

3 flaws: Struggle to take no for an answer. A little bit selfish. Can be impatient
3 virtues: Loyal, Determined, Sociable
Occupation: They currently don't have one but they are looking
Favorite food: Marshmallows
Least favorite food: Anything spicy
Favorite music genre: Country
Least favorite music genre: 'trance/dance'
Personality: They are fairly calm, they like to travel, do their own thing, unbothered by others. They don't like when their space is intruded on unless asked first. They spend most of their time camping, they're not so good with the bad weather though and will find somewhere more solid if it rains. They don't like getting wet at all. Around foals they are calm, smiley and welcoming, adults much less so, she doesn't have very much patience at all for adults, particularly if they are rude or are less than polite. They definitely don't like loud, brash ponies, even with the best of intentions. They also can't stand liars.
Anything else: They are far more patient around foals, especially those that are afraid of the dark but pretend to be brave.

Straye

Long-Term Resident
D
Their Domain: Ruins

Any power ideas:
Hindsight: Can create an illusion of what a Ruin once looked like.
Echoes: Can replay sounds (auditory memories) of the place during its history.
Ruin: Can glance into the future to see what might become of a home, or a castle, or location. Just its appearance, no knowledge of how it comes to pass.
Artifact: Can use glimpses of the passage of time leading up to the ruin of a place and by doing so, may find one or two buried treasures left behind.
Architect: After using hindsight to see the full glory of a location, the pony can recreate the architectural blueprints of ruins so that they might be rebuilt or restored.

3 flaws:
Workaholic; Once he gets started on a new project and a new location, it's rare to see him stop to eat, or sleep until he's either satisfied with a breakthrough or exhausted.
Overzealous; Don't get between him and a new location, don't touch his artifacts, don't touch his tools, and seriously, just let the pony work okay. It's safer. For you.
Reticent; He's usually far away - lost in thought, lost in the ruins around him. He's caught up in the history, rather than the present moment.

3 virtues:
Honorable - He will always go out of his way to do justice to whatever truths he uncovers. He's not greedy - and he works to learn and to teach, not for gains.
Courageous - He's fearless, he won't shirk away from the dark, or the potential pains of the past. He won't let those with negative intentions or greed take away from places meant to be sacred, and he will fight to preserve the memory of a place.
Inquisitive - He is driven by a thirst for knowledge, a hunger to learn, and a passion to share what was taught. Curiosity guides him in all he does.

Occupation: Archaeologist / Geographer / Explorer

Favorite food: Honey and Cinnamon scones with walnuts and dates.
Least favorite food: Fishy foods, esp. Oysters and anchovies.

Favorite music genre: Asiatic Classical Instrumental
(Liuqin (Chinese Mandolin), Xun (Basically an Occarina) and the Erhu (Chinese Violin)
Especially fluid, flowing, melodic, wordless music.

Least favorite music genre: Blue Grass (Anything particularly boingy and twangy with a lot of frenetic energy. He really prefers music without lyrics.)

Personality:
Positive;
Charismatic; He has a charming smile and rather dashing wit.
Intuitive; He trusts his instincts and he’s a good judge of character.
Persuasive; He speaks with a silver tongue that tempts.

Neutral;
Guileless; Largely he can be described as honest, sincere, with no intent to deceive.
Mellow; His personality leans towards being soft, he's mature, with no rough edges or harshness to him.
Stolid; His emotions are kept well within control and are hard to perceive.

Negative;
Arbitrary; He acts without discernible reason, seemingly at whimsy.
Impulsive; He acts before he thinks in intense situations sometimes because he believes action is better than inaction.
Single-Minded; He tends to be very focused and intent on one thing, one place, for a long period of time until he's satisfied he has exhausted everything he can from his pursuit.


Anything else: This kid is pretty incredible, and I can't wait to see who gets to take home this bundle of awesome <3

Do you have any alicorns? How many? Yes! I have one. Currently incomplete.
Do you have any awakened? How many? Yes! I have one!

Their Domain: Depression
Any power ideas: (passive power) Aura of Sadness - When this alicorn is nearby, others begin to feel a sense of sorrow wash over them. The feeling grows the closer this alicorn gets to others and tends to fade as they leave.
Road to Nowhere - This alicorn can produce illusions that trap a pony into believing that they're walking on a path with no end, walking up a staircase without ever making it to the top, or swimming out into a vast ocean with no land in sight. They can only use this power once a week, but can trap a weak-willed pony in this illusion spell for up to three days at a time. They can only use this spell at one pony at a time.
That's Rough, Buddy - This alicorn is able to feel sorrow radiating off of other ponies, even if they don't appear outwardly affected by it.
3 flaws: Debbie Downer - They're a mood killer at parties, so ponies have stopped inviting them to social events. This has led them to becoming pretty resentful of others - they can't help their powers!
Unfun Facts - They collect bits of trivia, but it's all really unfortunate facts, like the names of ghoulies who were burned at the stake, or which animals are becoming endangered, or how many ponies go missing every year in Frostbreath Canyon. They tend to have no filter when it comes to sharing these facts, much to the chagrin of others within earshot.
Selective Hearing -This alicorn tends to only hear negative or bad things that other ponies talk about, rather than hearing anything positive. Compliments run off their pelt like droplets of water.
3 virtues: Excellent Memory - This alicorn has an excellent memory for tragedies and events leading up to them. This holds up if they've read history books about unfortunate events. Their memories of the "good times" are a little fuzzy, however.
Sympathetic Shoulder - This alicorn is always willing to lend an ear... or their business card, to a pony who is amidst a whirlpool of sadness. They sympathize easily to those who are in pain on account of the sorrow they feel and while it's their domain, they certainly don't wish to see ponies suffer.
Eye for Patterns - This alicorn is pretty adept at sensing downward mood swings. While they can't always predict when a pony is starting to go downhill, they are able to identify if a pony is putting on more weight (or losing it rapidly), tends to space out more often and if they are distancing themselves from others. It's usually around that point that this alicorn will intervene and offer them their card as a therapist. Some despair is manageable, after all, and everypony needs to make a living.
Occupation: They're a therapist and come highly recommended too. Their clients usually feel rather forlorn and sorrowful when they're laying on the couch beside this alicorn and end up spilling their woes about everything to them for their allotted hour. When they leave after opening up, they feel refreshed and better than ever, which is usually what inspires another visit.
Favorite food: Nacho cheese chips - easy to make and easy to eat. They also leave a filling, heavy weight in this alicorn's stomach, which is a step up from an empty feeling any day... even if consuming so many of them makes them a little ill.
Least favorite food: Cotton Candy - Made to produce a moment of fleeting sweetness, only to be gone in the next, leaving behind an unpleasant aftertaste and an empty hole in one's stomach, that may not be merely from hunger.
Favorite music genre: Cello Concertos - There are few instruments that can feel more forlorn and emotional than that of a cello. This alicorn could listen to their mournful, deep melodies for the rest of their life.
Least favorite music genre: Country Western - Ugh! So many singers will reminisce about their lost loves or their broken hearts... as though one bad relationship could lead you to true sadness. These singers don't know what they're talking about and this alicorn deeply resents them for it.
Personality: --
Anything else: Not in regards to the alicorn themselves, but thank you, Polli, for holding this contest! ^^

Do you have any alicorns? How many? Yes, 3.
Do you have any awakened? How many? Yes, 3.
Were you in the stream when this kid was made? No.

Their Domain: Meditation
Any power ideas:

Crystal Therapy - Utilizes crystals imbued with their magic in meditation sessions with other ponies either in private appointments (where they hover long crystals over their clients while they rest in a specific space) or in groups (in a nice smelling room with big crystals and comfy cushions) in order to help these ponies through guided mediation. The crystals are designed to help ponies feel calm or relaxed, not sedated or sleepy, and only during the time they're exposed to their warm glow. Once ponies leave their appointment/the group room, the effect will wear off. (Unless the pony themselves chooses to actively try to keep themselves relaxed)

Crystal Lamp - Can create reasonably sized (like something for a bedside table or dresser) crystals like the ones they use in their sessions for ponies to take home with them for personal use. The lamps recognize the voice of their designated owner and use a simple command ("Lamp on/off" or the like) in order to be operated. Once turned on, the lamp works exactly like the crystals used in their sessions and produce a calming, but not sedating, light for up to one year of use before the pony that owns it needs to come back to them and have it recharged. Frequent use can make the crystal lose it's effects faster and it can be damaged by water or falling.

Mindful Master - The ability to instantly achieve that coveted meditative state as soon as they settle down and close their eyes. The only problem they have is returning to their body when they're suddenly interrupted or if they reach this state while in a public place. Ever been brought crashing back into your body by a frisbee to the face? They have.

Mental Manifest - The ability to bring something small they saw during their meditative state into reality. This requires quite a bit of concentration and energy to do and is typically used to manifest things like flowers or pretty shells, but it can be used to manifest other small things like crystal orbs or rings too. Whatever they bring into reality is temporary, only lasting about ten minutes for objects and up to thirty minutes for natural things, before they poof into clouds of sweet smelling smoke and return to their mental space.

3 flaws:

Detached: Doesn't believe in forming as many "earthly" attachments as other ponies and keep their own company as much as possible. This can make them appear uncaring, aloof, or dismissive to others and may end up hurting those who try to get close to them. They really do care about the wellbeing of others and won't avoid making conversation, but they won't offer anything personal about themselves and won't ask for the personal details of others.

Non-committal: Time has little bearing of importance to them and, thus, they're frequently late to appointments or a straight up no-show to other events they agreed to attend. They'll try to send some kind of note ahead of the agreed time if they don't intend to come, but even those can arrive thirty minutes to an hour after. They also have a habit of making a beeline for the exit the second that anything awkward or dangerous might be happening, leaving the rest of the world to deal with whatever happens afterward.

Inattentive: Spending so much of their time either meditating or in their own little world has left them with a naturally dreamy mind. This predisposition has led them to walking into others, floating straight into traffic, and losing more things than they care to admit. So many of their trips to the doctor start with the words "Well, I was off in my own little world again and didn't notice-" that their doctor has stopped asking for answers and starts treating them as soon as they walk in.

3 virtues:

Simplistic: How did they achieve such a high state of being? By living a simple life with simple needs. They don't chase after money, buy expensive clothes, or hoard possessions, and you won't catch them eating a steak dipped in gold leaf. If it's something big, flashy, over the top, or causing a whirlwind of obsession in the population, it won't be something they own or pursue.

Altruistic: While you can't depend on them to show up on time (or at all), you can expect them to give as much as they earn as though as it's nothing special. Be it extra time during a private session, free crystal lamps, or a bag of their groceries as they pass you by, they're clearly imbued with the spirit of giving and giving without a thought for themselves. Others may think them odd or careless for being so freely giving of their resources, but with a mind dedicated to leaving their cares behind them, it's as easy as breathing.

Serene: Remaining calm in a world full of ups and downs is a trait that can only be developed through years of training, and they'd like to say that they've mastered it. Yes, there are times where they'll experience panic and have to confront negative emotions, but they'll never let those feelings control how they relate to the world around them. They believe all feelings are valid and deserve acknowledgement, but it's what you do with those feelings that define you as a pony, and they choose to be as even-tempered as possible.


Occupation: Owns a crystal/mystical item shop. They host daily meditation sessions in a room in the back of the shop and have another more private room for personal clients.
Favorite food: Blueberry cobbler, asparagus wrapped in bacon, fruits/vegetables
Least favorite food: French onion soup, macaroni n' cheese, steak
Favorite music genre: New age/spa music, folk, and classical
Least favorite music genre: Heavy metal, screamo, and rap
Personality: ... Basically listed above. Forgive me, I was INSPIRED... 8'D
Anything else: I wanted to add another power idea that either involved them being able to project their meditations to others or being a calming presence to others, but I felt like those would be too OP or too similar to powers other alicorns might have. I'm satisfied with what I have listed above, though.

Do you have any alicorns? How many? Yes, 2. (Accidents and Inheritance)
Do you have any awakened? How many? Nope!
Were you in the stream when this kid was made? CORNDOG Yes!
It cook me a couple of extra days, but I've decided to go with this entry. + v+; I've read through everyone's and I really like this theme - it's very different than what I would have worked into them, and you were clearly super inspired, which I like. I look forward to seeing you and your new child in power approvals for us to work through the kinks - congrats!

I will say - you don't have to worry about overlapping abilities. Calming presence wouldn't be too OP, we can certainly tweak it to make it fit, and alicorns are allowed to have similar powers. It's gonna happen, lol. So feel free to toss the idea in too!

Thank you everyone for participating! <3
